Purpose of this guide
This guide focuses on the Talend Cloud Physical Reference Architecture. Talend Data Fabric allows for the implementation of all Integration Architecture Styles - Batch, Real-time, Event-driven and Streaming. You can learn about these styles in more detail and discover the Talend Cloud Physical Reference Architecture in the context of the implementation of these integration styles.- Talend Managed / Talend Serverless
- Customer Managed
This guide discusses the two approaches and helps you decide which approach is right for your organization.
Finally, a key part of this document is the set of Talend Cloud Physical Reference Architecture diagrams and the discussion of the details of these diagrams. This document makes many practical recommendations that will aid you in the deployment of the Talend Data Fabric.
- Talend Data Loader: requires no physical architecture diagrams as it is a pure cloud solution.
- Talend Cloud Data Catalog: for more information about the architecture, see Talend Cloud Data Catalog architecture.
